Crossing Heavy Breeds for better egg production

[just271]

I'm thinking about crossing my Black Australorp Roo w/ a RIR or a Buff. I'm thinking this will produce a super hi-breed layer.
Not sure if I'm onto something here, but, does anyone has experience in this?

Thanks.

I leave it to the experts......... and my roo

I think if you crossed any of those breeds, since they are all decent layers, you would get a bird that would lay roughly once a day. However, keep in mind that if you use a Heritage RIR instead of a hatchery one, you may not get as high of production.

Hi Illia

Good to see you again!

I didn't think so either, but sometimes you never know. Once I get a bigger property, I am thinking of looking into heritage breeds. My Red SLs keep me buried in eggs, so with them hard at work, I can dabble in other things. mwahaha!
